Angel's ears slammed back against her skull at the sound of the loud thunder, growling slightly she shifted her weight and tilted her head up to gaze at the sky. She had looked up in time to see an orange, red swirling bird diving down toward them, springing up and barking a warning to the others she jumped up baring her fangs as the creature shot past and landed in the middle of the stream flowing beside them.

Her eyes calmed as she watched the creature shake itself off and fly to a branch, lighting danced overhead lighting up the area that they were standing in. As she gazed at that fire bird she seemed to remember something of these creatures long ago, tilting her head to the side she looked on in awe, "Its a pleasure to meet you Waterlily." staring at him hard she continued in a soft voice, "Pardon me for staring but I thought that your kind had long sense ceased to existent." Shaking her head and folding her wings tightly against her back, she was so confused. She had never heard of a human that was good, nor had she ever meet some of the creatures that she just had in the past few hours, for all of the creatures similar to her were wiped out by human wars long ago. Perking her ears forward she glanced around her eyes searching for the others.

All the excitement was a lot to handle, that was sure! Vineda ducked involuntarily at the thunder, so much louder than before, and with yet another being presenting itself as well! There was something in the air today that had her fur on edge. Hair, she corrected herself mentally, noting she was still human with a tiny bit of surprise. It was harder to tell the difference some days. She glanced around warily, checking for Songhue after all of the confusion before looking into who this new stranger might be.

And I don't know how To slow it down Oh, my mind's racing From chasing pirates.

OOC|One is just happy to be able to contribute. Never feel you have to rush on One's account. One is patient.

Waterlily was still a bit disorientated from the fall. He nearly falls from the branch while attempting to greet everyone. *It is a pleasure to meet you as well. This form is one of many that One takes. This form is the true expression of JOY as One's mind interprets it from his heart. One was having a very nice time flying before he ran into that nasty storm.*

Waterlily did not want to confuse her anymore with this form, he begins to fly down and in a brilliant flash of blue light he transforms from this fiery blue phoenix into a large blue fox with two tails, red eyes and a stripe of light blue fur on his back. *This form should be much more accommodating for you. May One ask what your name is and what manner of magical creature you are? Your form is not one that One has ever seen.*

While asking the question, Waterlily senses another is watching. He turns to see a girl sitting with reddish-brown hair. A beautiful site to behold. *One apologizes. One did not mean to be rude. One is called waterlily and One is a friend.*

Angel's eyes narrowed with uncertainty, flicking her tail back in forth in confusion she stared hard at the creature in-front of her with a worried look on her face, "Pardon my rudeness, my name is Angel." sitting down on the moist grass and opening her wings slightly so they circled her protectively, she lifted her paw and settled the fur there, her silver ring running up then down her slender leg as she lowered it back to the ground.

Her crimson eyes once again settled on the sapphire colored fox that now stood before her, "I'm afraid I can not answer that question very well, I am or I was to be more exact, a part of a very powerful pack." Her eyes burned with anger as the memories of her pack rushed into her, unable to contain her questions and pain any longer she cried out "But human's destroyed my home land and hunted me and my family down."

Glancing over at Vineda her eyes narrowed then softened, "I have never meet a human with the ability's that everyone here seems to posses." Her wings trembled as she drew them around her more unable to continue. She was still very young and had been forced to fight and provide for herself, she was unsure of how to react to so much kindness, and offers of friendship. Where she was from her kind were feared and hunted for skins and there prized wings.

*Angel is it. What a fitting name?* As Angel sits, so does Waterlily. He does not wish to offend or show disrespect to this new creature he has met. Waterlily can sense that Angel is young in magic and so is the girl with the reddish-brown hair. Of course the age of One's magic does not tell the full tale. Waterlily makes sure to keep his head lower than hers. This is a typical show of respect among four-legged creatures. Waterlily can sense the anger and resentment in the air as Angel expresses her rage towards those that did her harm. She has been through much and gaining her trust may take some time.

Waterlily is also curious about this girl with the reddish-brown hair. *And what is your name young lady? Are you two friends? One did not mean to intrude if this was a private gathering.*

Waterlily turns to Angel, *One is deeply sorry for your loss, but you have no reason to fear One. One is a magical creature such as yourself. One could never hurt another soul let alone a new friend.* Waterlily continues to explain that these lands are safe. Humans tend to not venture into magical forests and most will avoid us if ever seen. Waterlily does take note that she mentions "...ability's that everyone here seems to posses." Does this girl share my Shape-shifting ability? Waterlily's curiosity about her grows ever so slightly as his right eyebrow raises. Turning to Angel once again, he says *Is there something One can do to temper your anger and ease your fears?*

Angel's eyes calmed as she lowered her head in shame, she hadn't meant to burst out as she had. Sometimes it was hard to control her feelings,gaining control of herself quickly she raised her head to address Waterlily in a softer voice, "I don't know." Tilting her head up and taking in a deep breath, feeling her lungs expand with the deep rich air, she sighed and continued mostly to herself, "This land seems to have some magical healing property's." Since the moment her paws touched the ground she felt the magic and power in the air around her, but she also felt a calmness and a tranquility around her as well.

This land was as Waterlily said untouched by human wars, and problems, a land that was pure. As her eyes came to rest once again mystical blue wolf that stood before her, she wondered about his past and his birth, but she decided she could find that out in good time. Baring her teeth in a grin she said in a happier voice, "I just meet Vineda a short time ago, and she was introducing me to her friend."
